Currently stuck on kernel 5.13 as my audio devices disappear when running 5.14 or 5.15 .
Edit: Thought I was losing my mind when this thread vanished too, but it appears the post has been moved from KDE to sound. Which also means it’s not overtly obvious that I am using KDE plasma.
Attached screen shots and outputs of ‘pacmd list-cards’ below. Results obtained by switching to kernel 5.15 for testing and reverting to state using 5.13 via time-shift. Any insight on what is going on here would be greatly appreciated.
